Jags is back in town, Jags is back in town, Jags is back in town…(sung to the tune of the old Thin Lizzy classic, The Boys Are Back In Town).
Okay, an admittedly weak lead-in for a super-noteworthy event. But I, for one, am so very happy ownership has decided to honor Jaromír Jágr and raise his iconic No. 68 to the PPG Paints Arena rafters in a special jersey retirement ceremony slated for 4:00 tomorrow afternoon.
Long overdue, IMHO.
Even better, Jags will be joined by a host of former teammates from those old Stanley Cup teams, including Phil Bourque, Jay Caufield and Kevin Stevens.
